Egg Cartons
Instructions
Paper, plastic and Styrofoam egg cartons go in the blue recycling cart. If the paper cartons are soiled, or contain egg shells, they should go in the landfill bin.
Alternatives
Take back your egg cartons to a local farmers' market to use them again. You can also start seedlings in paper egg cartons. Fill each section with soil and a few seeds. Once the seeds have sprouted, divide the carton into the individual compartments and plant them (carton and all) in the ground.
Facts
Egg cartons made of recycled paper are often the last time that paper can be used/recycled since the quality of paper degrades after every time it's recycled.
